This page sponsored by Orvil Fairbanks Class of 1952 has gone forth into the world seeking their occupa- tion and fortune. This is the results of my airplane trip in 1965 to interview the seniors of 1952 I flew from here to Amarillo, Texas, where I interviewed Benton Dover, who is the owner of a Texas Horse Ranch and part time Texas Ranger. I found that Benton wasn!t married and was interested in horses only. His ranch was the biggest and best in Texas and had the largest oil producing well in the state. While riding the range his partner, the trusty steed Blue Berry, always carried him to safety. I found wonderful hospitality at Benton1 s home and upon parting he gave me a !rten gallon hat.M From here I flew to Coffeyvine, Kansas where John Flugge was liv- ing. I was told that John was a owner of a big rocket plant and that no one was allowed to enter, but I decided that I would try to see him anyhow) and upon arrival to the plant I was welcomed by John Flugge. John was very glad to see me and show me through the whole plant, from there John took me i’0 his home, where I met his wife Ophelia, and twelve children. His wife was small blonde and pretty, she was very thin and from the looks of the house she was a very hard working woman. His children were very well behaved and well manner- ed. His five girls were named—Tuloola, Dulcinea del, inevra, Gwen- dolin, Clarissa, and his seven boys were named Guzman, Jacques, Tur- ridu, Tartuffe, Elfride, Rasselas, and Johnny Jr. John later remark- ed that they were cheaper by the dozen. After dinner John told me the many things he had done since he had left Old B. H. S. In the Popular Mechanic Magazine he had read about the space ships to the moon and decided that would be his life occupation. While standing at the magazine stand he met Lady Ophelia, who is now his wife, it was love at first sight, after there marriage they moved to the re- sidents now in Coffeyvine, where he has his rocket plant. Upon my inquire of his former class mate LaVonne Gardner he said she was last heard of in New York City. After thanking John for this information, I bade him good bye. I arrived at New York City to find that LaVonne had recently taken up a position in Butsivango, Bechuanaland, Africa as a nurse in a small hospital there. So I chartered an airplane to South Africa. On arrival I had to walk a distance of about 15 miles where I spent the evening and was on ray way early in the morning to Butsivango, Bechuanaland, where I arrived at sun down to find LaVonne. she wel- comed me and asked me in or a visit. Yfe soon were conversing old times because LaVonne had not seen any of her former friends since she. left B. H. S. LaVonne said, that after she left E, H. S. she had gone to Carol College in South Carolina for her nurses training. Af- ter finishing college and getting her M. D. Degree she went to New York to help care for the many patients in the New York City Hospital. Here she met a young Doctor who was on a forlough from Africa, who talked her into going to help him with his work there. They are now engaged and are planning a big wedding upon arrival to U. S. Nov that we have all the 1952 seniors history up to date, my return trip was filled with pleasant memories. l rojjliecLj
